OK,

You have 3 PC's with different specs, what sound card do you put in each for best compatibility for playing games?

1. Pentium 133 MHZ on a Slot 7 AT Board with ISA / PCI

2. Pentium 2 - 233 MHZ on a board with ISA / PCI

3. Pentium 3 - 450 MHZ on a board with ISA / PCI

"for best compatibility for playing games" ? To say the truth, there is no such thing. Which OS? Which games?

And even then, it is much more of a matter of "taste" than anything else, which is quite personal. My personal choice would be Sound blaster AWE64s for all of them. Or maybe a SB 16 + a midi daughterboard of some sort for the P133.
